Wellman's work is concise. His images evoke a crisp awareness. Here we have 21 poems, each flawless, forming a chain of thought. The word that ends a poem is title for the proceeding one. Tangent thought becomes the spearhead of intention--the ruminations of an observed periphery makes this read a challenging construction of poetic staring.--Nico Vassilakis
